After their appearance last weekend at the Bloodstock Open Air Festival, groove metal giants Lamb of God announced early this week their comeback in January 2014 for a nine-date headline tour.

This will be the band’s longest visit to the UK since they released their last album, “Resolution” (Epic, Roadrunner) in January 2012.

The tour is set to kick off on Saturday 12 January in Southampton, and will take place at different venues across the UK, including gigs in London’s Brixton O2 Academy, Glasgow’s O2 Academy, Bristol’s O2 Academy and Southampton’s Guildhall.

Tickets go on sale today priced £19.50 and £20.50 in London and can be snapped up from all good offices.
